    It's always packed during holidays, especially in the evening. If you want to go up, you'll probably have to queue for a bit.

      Can you recommend a hotel to stay at?

        Hey, the hotel we stayed at was in the Tianhe District area. It was a bit out of the way, and I thought the ambiance was just okay. However, it was right above a commercial area and only 300 meters from the subway station.

          The buildings on Shamian Island date back to the late Qing Dynasty.

            Oh! I was hoping to see architecture from the Republic of China era; I thought those buildings were from that period.

              I think the durian desserts at Lan Fong Yuen are delicious. Not every dessert shop offers durian options, you know.

                  All I can say is, thank goodness we didn't queue for Min Ji... We waited half an hour, and the food was honestly just average.

                    I went to another place the next day, and it was decent, but definitely not worth waiting half an hour for.

                      I genuinely don't get why every restaurant around Beijing Road, good or bad, has a queue at meal times. Yesterday, I went to a Hunan restaurant, and you could tell right away the food was pre-made. The stir-fried beef was cooked medium and then slow-stewed – in Hunan, they'd practically string you up for that! And the crazy part is, even a place like this had a line...

                        Seriously... it's unbelievably crowded.

                          Is the Canton Tower crowded now?
